The poisoned legacy of Sánchez in housing
It is an indisputable fact that when Sánchez arrived at La Moncloa, the Spanish real estate market was working much better than it is now.
The Spanish government's housing policies have been criticized for being ineffective. When Pedro Sánchez took office, the housing market was recovering, but since then, his government has implemented measures such as the Ley por el Derecho a la Vivienda, which aimed to regulate rents and make housing more affordable. However, the effects of these policies have been negative, including a decline in the supply of rental housing in Catalonia and a surge in demand.
The government has also failed to deliver on promises to build public housing, with only around 10,000 units delivered out of a promised 259,000. Critics argue that the government's approach has been misguided and that the market needs a more active management approach to address the shortage of housing.
